Earthquake Cocktail Recipe

No Comments
EARTHQUAKE COCKTAIL Recipe

The Earthquake cocktail was supposedly invented by a French painter named Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. It is made with equal parts of Absinthe and Cognac, although some recipes suggest Gin as the third component. As the name suggests, it is called Earthquake because of the powerful effects of this specific alcohol combination, which tends to shake up the consumer.

INGREDIENTS

  • 90 ml/ 3 oz. Absinthe
  • 90 ml/ 3 oz. Cognac

METHOD

  1. Pour the Absinthe and the Cognac into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes.
  2. Stir well until chilled.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Garnish a lime wheel.

NOTES

The original recipe calls for equal parts of Absinthe and Cognac, 90ml/ 3 oz. each. However, some suggest this is too strong and advise to lower the amounts to 30 ml/ 1 oz. of Absinthe and 30 ml/ 1 oz. Cognac. Also, Gin is sometimes added to the cocktail and Pernod can be used instead of Absinthe.

GIN SOUR COCKTAIL Recipe

The Gin Sour cocktail is a very enjoyable classic cocktail. Light, refreshing and with a lot of character, this sour is one of the original beverages of its kind, enjoyed in a similar manner since the late 1800s. This Gin Sour recipe is not the oldest, but it is for sure a favorite bar version for most of the 20th century. Gin, fresh lemon juice and simple syrup make for a sour taste with the right hint of sweetness for balance. Include the egg white for a luscious foam, but if you want to skip it, the drink will still be fantastic.

INGREDIENTS

  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. London Dry Gin
  • 30 ml/ 1 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 15 ml/ ½ oz. simple syrup
  • 15 ml/ ½ oz. egg white (optional)
  • 3 dashes of Angostura bitters

METHOD

  1. Add the Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white (if using) into a shaker and vigorously dry-shake (without ice) if using egg white. (If not using egg white, skip the dry shake and move to the next step.)
  2. Add ice and shake again until well-chilled.
  3. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  4. Garnish with a lemon twist. Or if using egg white, decorate the frothy top with 3 dashes of Angostura bitters.
